What's for lunch today?

Here's mine...complete with my pain in the arse food journal:) So what was your lunch today? Do you keep a food journal?

Never thought I'd see the day when I'd be absolutely full on 6 multigrain scoops:) My puppy got the last one and some of the chili:)

How long ago did you get your surgery? I’m getting a sleeve done next week Wednesday and this thing is kicking my ass


I’ve had the same lunch every day this week. I take ground turkey and add garlic, egg, a little cream of wheat or oatmeal ( to bind), Greek spices, salt and pepper. I mix it together. Then add finely chopped mushrooms, onion, yellow/green zucchini. I make 4 oz patties - which include the veggies. Then I broil in both sides. I eat cold or warm. I add a little ketchup and mustard, a few butter pickles and diced tomatoes. I had one for dinner tonight too! They freeze well. And they are solid enough to fill my pouch and moist enough to not gag.

Burrito bowl/naked burrito. No rice. Didn’t shell out the extra $2 for guacamole. Will probably end up eating less than a third. I get annoyed eating out because I can never finish and it seems like a waste of money and food!

The other half of the can of Hormel chili I heated up yesterday with a packet of oyster crackers.

So far this is the only form of red meat I've tolerated well, btw.

I made a low carb crock pot crustless pizza this weekend. I made it from this recipe, though I made my batch smaller, with only one kind of cheese, and added a bunch of mushrooms. But it was gooooooooood.

The only thing was, like an idiot, it never occurred to me to check the cook time... four hours. I ate pretty late the night I made that this weekend.

Anyway, I had leftovers and had some for lunch and it was good. A fair amount of calories, but almost no carbs, so by eating lean for my other meals, I was able to fit it in.

Edited by etc. etc. etc.

I'm on my second week diet, which means full liquids for me. I had a cup of tomato and red pepper soup.

Had some homemade veggie soup thickened with pea and brown rice protein powder. Imagine a crock pot of veggies floating in split pea soup....and you're there. It was really good. This pic is before it cooked down...cause it's more colorful before it's cooked and made a prettier picture. As the rice and pea protein powder cook, they thicken and it looks like stew:)

Ok, I'm definitely making this!!! That looks crazy delicious!!!!

My lunches have gotten insanely repetitive: packet of tuna, with some hot sauce and ginger paste squeezed in. It's boring, but it's so low cal/carb that I can relax a bit and have a nicer dinner or a glass of wine at night.

My wife has this way of making chicken soup that makes for a whole batch of meals. She cooks up the stock with chicken and veggies, then removes those making a chicken salad out of some of the veggies and salad that she eats. The rest of the chicken she shreds and I eat it with barbecue sauce and some chunks of polish sausage mixed in, which makes for a pretty lively flavor, even as it's light. She and my kid cook up noodles and eat it with the broth as soup, but I just treat it as bone broth, mixing in protein powder (I still have some to get rid of from my liquids phase). It's nice in the wintertime.

Sautéed 2 thin slices of turkey with 2 tbsp mushrooms over 1 scrambled egg. Sprinkle with chives and cheddar cheese
